The CHANCELLOR of t he EXCHEQUER. -asked of some : of the Hon. Members opposite, whether an Hon. Member (Mr. .Whitbread, who bad left the .kfoose) had altered his determination of bringing ,forward iris, promised motion to-morrow, on the subje6l of Lord ,Cliatham's• Narrative, and the Answer of Ills Majesty to an Ad4ess of thelicruse, _ praying him to lay before the House such other pa pers or narratives as that Noble Lord might: have ,presented to his Majesty? Mr. TIERNZY and Mr. PONSONBY said they be lieved their Hon., Friend had not altered -his deter miiation of making his. motion Jo-morrow upon subject certainly lie bad expres,ed no such intention . to.them. - Ir was un - derstood therefore that Mr. 'Whitbread's motibu would come on to-morrow (this day). On the tootiou of Lord Castlereagh; Mr. Hotlds . son and Sir R.

He is merely placed at the head - of the - Ftench Bishops, with alarger salary. We trust . that this circumstance will produce - a proper effete upon the minds of jhe Catholics of Ireland, and that they will:now sgehow impossible it is to consent to, their claims,, while they profess spititual obedienee to a French Bishop, The advoCates for the claims of the Catholics hive frequently pralsed BUONA. PA, RTE. for his professions of toleration, and quoted his example with, applause. If they really think his . authority so high, we must beg to Teter them to the 12th Article of the Senatus Consultuni, respect ing the abolition °Cale Papacy. It stater, that every fOreign Sovereign is incapable of exercising any spiritual,, authority within, the territory 'of ,the French Empire. The policy and good sense of this part'of the Decree is too obvious to require any ,ar gument to enforce it. The interference of one State with the affairs of another, whether that interference be of a spiritual or temporal nature, is certainly iricorn patiblAvith the independence of that State which submits to it ; but in the present case, when Bu' o- NAYABTE iS master of nearly the .whole-Continent of Darepe, and when he has uniformly avowed that the _ first object of his heart is the 'destruction of these realms, in. such 'a . case to suffer one of his Bishops to govern the Roman Catholic Church of Irelaed, would, be blindly to contr ib u t e to our own ruin.

CADIZ, FEB. 9.—With regard to the safety of this town, I have only to say that it is placed be yond the enemy's reach. About two seamen have landed to assist in the -- cOnstiudion of the works of defence, and -we have, very little apprehension of the enemy being able for a considerable time to make any impression upon the place." •CADIZ, FEB: 14.—Since my letter of Sunday last 4000 British troops have arrived from Lisbon; and with the other reinforcements expected, the garrison intends to. aWon the offensive. Our force will : then exceed 30,000 regular..troops.

He . profeised the strongest reso lutio,R.l9,iesist the French to - the last extremity. All Briii . sh - and American vessels had been assured of the most friendly treatment, and were suffered to take c;argoes as usual. From Badajoz we find that the Spaniards have hurled a proud defiance at the enemy, who have approached that city, and as the-British troops were on, their march to give battle in that quarter, we remain in hourly expetiation of receiving some im portant intelligence from thence. •lhe following Is an extraet - of a letter, dated . • BADAJOZ, Fan. 12.—Early this morning, about 600- French dragoons 'approached as near as 200 toises of this town, but were driven back by our troops.

BRITISH INSTITUTION.-Tbi s s admirable Asylum for rising genius in the Fine Arts, was opened for the season yesteoay, not to the public at large, bot to she 'Directors, their friends, and several well known Amateurs, It is with much pleasure that we,-witness the beneficial influence of this Institti tion, in the improvement of the Arts. Many of the Artists who were first brought forward under the patronage of this .Institution, have made- consider able, advances in excellence, and others now appear wliose works evince the most promising 'omens of future celebrity. There are eighteen works seat as candidates fOr the premiums allotted to the best picture in Kistcuical and Poetical composition, and the nekt.best in the same province. 'The first prize. is . a• Hundred guineas, and the second fifty.—These piCturis have no mark, to distinguish them,. and, they are only known as candidates to the Direaors; so. that those who fail of success will'not be morti fied in having their . miscarriage published to - Abe world. We can .only find room at present to say, that the colletion altogether does- honour to the country, .and that the Direaors .will perhaps find it a difficult matter to decide amidst the produttions of so honourable: a competition. But the merits of the colleaion are not confined to . the Historical and Poetical department, bUt appear in scenes of fami liar life, landscapes, rustic incidents, &c. &c. We cannot help . notioivig a picture, in the kletnish style, painted by Mr. M. W. SHARP, whic.h . is an ,exquisite specimenot high finishing, elegance, and expression.. This was immediately purchased. by Lord KtN'NAIRD, _at a liberal price.
